Yuck

I feel less silly about cleaning before a vacation now.  Apparently I really do need to clean *sometimes*.

The layer of dust curled up into little sticky pea sized black balls which are currently scattered about the floor.  The sticky residue underneath is still sticky, but there must have been *some* dirt in the two bucketfulls of black water that went down the drain.

A year from now I'll be searching for professional cleaners.
